Cancun is ranked on the top 6 tourist destinations in the world, surrounded by the beautiful turquoise Caribbean sea. With more than 350 flights a day from all over the world, it makes it very easy to get here. Hospitality, beautiful beaches, first class accommodation and food are waiting for you in this Mexican paradise. Register today and race in this fun and friendly resort of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Triathletes will start with a very fast swim one loop in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea, in Playa Langosta. The second leg of the race will take place in the beautiful Boulevard Kukulcan. Athletes will complete 3 laps of 30 kilometers that will take them through the Hotel Zone, getting a view of amazing beaches and lagoons, as well as into the downtown area known as Bonampak Avenue. The course is flat and fast.
The running leg will take place in Downtown Cancun, right on Bonampak Avenue, amid the commercial and residential area: a 3 lap route with some low hills. The course will be very well stock with plenty of hydration and aid stations, as well as locals who will have the opportunity to cheer and support you until you cross the finish line, in Universidad Tec Milenio.
Recovery tent and party will be ready at the finish line, with massages, aid station, medical service, food and plenty more surprises.
The local government and the people of Cancun are enthusiastic and supportive. So don’t let go this opportunity to enjoy Cancun and compete in one of the Challenge Family distances. And make sure to check out the side events: a long sprint distance and an open water swim. Of course, bring your family with you!
